"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Sometimes we must interfere. . . There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention . . . writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the left and by the right." Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Speech, 1986, Oslo.

Naturally no one "had a problem with him" when he was working for Sessions, as trmp attests, bc Sessions recused himself from the Investigation.
The problem with d j t is he thinks everyone wills wallow his LIES.
That's SAD.
Very very sad.

Manson-type trmo follower.
When WH lies, which it does all the time, America is LOST.
This article embeds 1/2 speed and 1/4 speed videos, apparent by slowed down sound, to show difference.
trmpies are beyond despicable.
Acosta's press pass has been revoked.
CNN stands by him.
Watch the next Q here--trmp defends ICE and says "they are doing a fantastic job."
It's time for trmp to go.

He worked as a general contractor, and volunteer talk show host at UC Santa Barbara in 1989. He later joined WVNN in Athens, Alabama, and shortly afterward, WGST in Atlanta. In 1996, he was hired by Fox and was accompanied by Alan Colmes when he received his show Hannity & Colmes. Leaving WGST, he worked at WABC in New York until 2013, where he was on air full-time. Since 2014, he has worked at WOR. After Colmes announced his departure in January 2008, he merged his Hannity & Colmes show into Hannity.
Hannity has received several awards and honors, including an honorary degree from Liberty University. He has written three best-selling books: Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism; Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism; and Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama's Radical Agenda.
Hannity has promoted falsehoods and conspiracy theories, such as casting doubt on Barack Obama's birthplace, promoting conspiracy theories about the murder of Seth Rich, and reporting false stories about Hillary Clinton's health. He was an early supporter of Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Since Trump's election, Hannity has often acted as a conduit for Trump's messaging, criticizing the media and attacking the special counsel inquiry. Some White House advisors have characterized Hannity as the "shadow" chief-of-staff.[4] According to Forbes, by 2018 Hannity had become one of the most-watched hosts in cable news and most-listened-to hosts in talk radio due to his close friendship and access to President Donald Trump.[5]

In c. 2004, I suggested thro my colleague Zaw Oo and thro him Open Society that Stiglitz be included among the Burmese Exile Govt advisors (informal).
This resulted in a conference in DC in 2004.
In 2012, Stiglitz and my mentor from Rangoon days, Dr Findlay, also at Columbia Univ. went to Burma, but no one even asked if I wished to go.
Stiglitz said that the Burmese Govt/junta "deleted all his remarks about politics."
For the record, before I suggested his name, some of the Burmese in the Exile Gov. had never heard of him.
So it goes.
Now we have a version of Putin's Russia with oligarchs and Xi's China with similar rich persons, only on Burma they are called cronies.

This sounds connected to the Khashoggi case.
It seems to have the violent fingerprint of Saudi government agents.
They had just applied for asylum, and their mother said they had all been threatened to return to Saudi Arabia.
NYPD vows to seek justice and pipe bomb case is under famous Southern District of NY as first pipe bomb was sent to Soros in NY State on MOnday 10-22-2018.
Sn District of NY was headed by Preet Bharara who was fired by trmp.
In the meantime, one day after his unwelcome visit to Jewish victims of mass shooting in Pittsburgh (11 dead)
trmp is at it again saying birth citizenship rights are "not constitutional". Fox and friends is echoing as usual.
Mattis says (troops will still be sent to border) bc we "don't do stunts."
Stay tuned.
Sounds like GOP very rattled before mid terms. Trmp's also taken out a racist ad.
